The pictures were supposedly created by an artist’s meme Instagram account. Madonna fans are divided over her latest social media post. The “Material Girl” singer, whose real name is Madonna Louise Ciccone, sent her followers spiraling after she rang in the weekend with two AI-generated photos of her and Pope Francis.

The first photo shared on her Instagram story featured Madonna, 66, snuggled next to the head of the Catholic Church in a black lace dress. Pope Francis looked as if he was grabbing her arm with his nose pressed to her cheek. “Going into the weekend like… … …,” her caption read.

“Feels good to be seen,” she wrote on the next slide alongside the second image of her in a black bustier. In this photo, Pope Francis was made to look like he was talking to Madonna with his arm around her waist. Madonna tagged @rickdick_, the meme artist’s Instagram account, below the caption in red.

Though the controversial images were meant to be a joke, some of the “Popular” icon’s fans weren’t impressed or amused. In fact, they believed her posts were “creepy” and “inappropriate.”. On X/Twitter, several bothered individuals voiced their opinions. “This is creepy as hell,” one person proclaimed, while another noted: “It’s funny and pathetic at the same time.”.
A third said: “This is another web full filling tentative of AI s***. Nonsense, sad and a useless use of modern tools. What is the message? what do you want to say?”. Yet, amid all the criticisms, many of Madonna’s supporters defended her, arguing these photos were an extension of her humor.
